Colour of a diplomatic plate but with no DC. Car’s surely too dirty to be some sort of dealer plate…

UPDATE: A very reliable source informs me that this plate is definitely a Western Australian one despite the lack of any State markings. Sandgroper exceptionalism at work again.

More likely to the the WA plates mentioned above. The DC/DX plates have ACT on them from memory. Why you would want the hideous colour like that anyway I don’t know. They really need to do an update of the ACT plates though and offer more variations, like the european plates offered in VIC/NSW/QLD, and scrap the Centenary plates until 2012/2013, I fail to see the point of them for the next 5 years!
